Dietary Guidelines for Adolescent Girls
Adolescent girls should pay attention to avoiding consuming certain foods during menstruation, otherwise it can easily cause physical damage.
These foods are mainly divided into three categories:
A. Raw and cold food
The cold foods mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine include pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ears, stone flowers, and ground ears. Most of these foods have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, nourishing yin, and reducing fire. When consumed in daily life, they are beneficial to the human body. However, during the menstrual period, it is advisable to avoid or consume as little of these foods as possible, otherwise it may cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.
B. Spicy
Such as cinnamon, pepper, cloves, pepper, etc. This type of food is all seasoning, and adding some chili peppers to the dish during regular cooking can make the taste of the dish better. However, women during menstruation should not consume these spicy and stimulating foods, as it can easily lead to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and excessive menstrual bleeding.
C. Food that affects the development of sexual organs
Water chestnut, water bamboo, winter melon, kale, fern, rabbit meat, black fungus, and hemp seed.
Dietary Guidelines for Adolescent Girls
Adolescent girls have a higher demand for calories, with a daily calorie intake of 2600-2700 calories, which is higher than that of adults. These calories are mainly sugar, fat, and protein. Some people, on the other hand, do not eat breakfast or are not full, and their calorie supply is significantly insufficient, which will inevitably affect their growth and development. Therefore, it is important to have a good breakfast.
Adolescence requires a considerable and comprehensive amount of protein, minerals, and water. The protein requirement for women is approximately 80-90 grams per day. The protein composition and types of amino acids in different foods are not the same, so the food you eat should be diverse in order to provide a comprehensive supplement of amino acids and not picky eaters.
Girls entering puberty should pay attention to rest before and after eating: If they exercise before and after eating, the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract will decrease, inevitably leading to a decline in gastrointestinal function and causing indigestion and a series of gastrointestinal problems. Therefore, it is important to rest before and after eating to ensure blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract. Patients with gastric ulcers should quit smoking because nicotine in tobacco can alter the acidity and alkalinity of gastric juice, disrupt normal gastric pyloric activity, and induce or worsen ulcer disease.
Girls have early puberty and do not have the concept of a healthy diet, which often has an impact on the future. The above four dietary guidelines must be noted.
